Root Explanation

Profluent is formed from "pro-" (meaning forward) and "fluere" (meaning to flow). The word describes something that flows forward or abundantly.

Memory Tip

Think of something that flows 'forward' ('pro-') and 'fluere' means to flow — that's why profluent refers to something that flows abundantly.
